Why you NEED a GENERATOR for caravanning - 12v vs 240v

[@stuartkcalvin]

Very good, thank you. As a very remote 4WD, my genny is a great back up. One also needs to carry a ULP jerry can and spare oil.

New vans don't have to have chassis mounted batteries... All credibility gone...

[@adelaiderv]

@@ausguy4385 Have you read the ASNZS 3001.2? All batteries now must be in a sealed cavity vented to the outside, with no access to the inside of the caravan. This is for new builds.

[@johnmurray9432]

Thank you for your brilliant advice. I decided to skip the expensive solar panels and batteries. Can you test and compare generators and power stations? I will appreciate it

[@JamesFalzon]

Thanks. Good info on generators. Should I turn off or unplug the inverter before using Generator ? Thanks P.s. have Enerdrive system

[@elelegidosf9707]

0:45 "12 volt is the current that is coming from your battery". Say what? Volts aren't current.

You bloody legend Jeb. Hope things are good with you mate. still loving out Nova but thinking about something smaller. I know you dont do Nova anymore - what are you guys selling? Nick McDonalkd

[@adelaiderv]

Sorry for the late reply! We stock Leader and Supreme Caravans, Goldstream RV campers, and a range of second-hand models.

[@thelonewolf666]

nobody runs a generator that close to the van--- carry a 30m power lead

[@deanredden1857]

Great video. I see it runs your air conditioner on cold but what about on heat as I think heat uses more power?

[@thelonewolf666]

yes it runs on heat easy

[@man.i.literally.failed6772]

Thats what disel heaters are for

👍👍❤️🙏🇦🇺

[@Outandabout-xx5hk]

Does that arrangement need some sort of earthing system? Plugging in at a caravan park gives you the earth but this system doesn’t seem to have that.

[@adelaiderv]

No it does not need an earthing system provided your generator is placed directly on the ground.

[@adventure_ready]

Well said .. and good hair 😁

[@johnpapaioannou4134]

Thanks for your video. I'm learning! How long could you run the aircon on the generator tank?

[@thelonewolf666]

about 7 hours

[@Timetraveller1010]

Thank you for the vid

[@wwfgumby]

People running generators in camp grounds should be banned. Get a decent inverter and plenty of solar input and you don’t need a generator. If you want to run air conditioners, go to a caravan park.

[@thelonewolf666]

👍

[@TheDucstar]

Nothing more annoying than the serenity being shattered by some idiots running an air fryer or air con with a generator 😢 if you need that crape your not a camper.

[@joking7081]

Full agree. People with generators are a pain. They should be banned

[@Jugsy77]

Put your fingers in your ears then

Pure noise pollution.
